Very relaxing, slow shave today in the bedroom at the shaving stand.
Sounds was The Brian Jonestown Massacre ‘Spacegirl and Other Favorites’.
The razor was fresh off the hones – Norton 4/8 and Shapton. 4 x 10, 8 x 20, 4 x 9, 8 x 20, 4 x 8, 8 x 20 (etc) to 4 x 1, 8 x 20 then 40 on the Shapton 16k followed by 30 linen, 70 English bridle. The edge was close to perfect, as was the whole shave.
I did little ‘buffing’ or ‘polishing’ motions on the jaw line for the second pass; very short, very light repeated strokes.
The Proraso pre/post (a gift from Ed) was very welcome. I used it pre and post with Lavanda over the top…
Extremely cheap (2.99) Merlot enhanced the mood.
As I shaved in the bedroom I could hear Bailey, my grandson, chattering away in the lounge room. He’s six now, and very chattery.

Unhurried, comfortable and relaxing shave. Have a nice week.
Carl, the best there is, you try with a not so expensive Kamisori. You'll see if you fit this kind of shave very quickly. For me it worked right away. For others, it never fits. I think it is above all the hand position and the associated feeling for the blade.Quote:

Doing some tests on a SRP Williams #043 to be exact...
My friend DonV and I traded razors a while back, he wanted to try out a Kamisori and wanted me to tweak in the Williams, so we exchanged razors :) you should try it sometime...
Anyway I went with my Nakayama on the edge tweak and that brought out a really smooth edge, second shave on this edge and I am pretty happy..
Since it was an edge test I went with a "Simple" shave routine
Hot shower, leaving the brush to soak in very hot water while I showered, tossed some hot water on the MWF at the same time..
Made up a good creamy lather on the face and let it setup while I stropped in the razor 20/40 on an SRD premium 1 strop..
After the stropping I went WTG, re-lather XTG, single splash rinse leaving a slick coating of water, 3rd pass with zero stretching and a super light touch..
Cold water rinse, followed by a healthy splash of Aqua Velva...
Really nice shave..

A very nice shave. I think the Bengall still has potential to be even smoother, so we will re-visit the hones. BBS nonetheless... just looking for that "effortless edge". A crazy busy weekend. The shave was a warm tranquillising welcome. Have a great week gentlemen!
